Has anyone heard of this 1950's idea to make lead bullets out of pure soft lead that won't smear lead all through a bore? http://www.hawkbullets.com/Prot-X-Bore.htm
It appears that Hawk Bullets, champion of soft thick annealed jackets over soft lead cores, is resurrecting the idea, of "sherardizing" rifling with zinc, that in turn supposedly prevents leading of plain lead bullets even driven at magnum speeds in pistols.
Myth? or Worth looking into?
It would seem to be a much simpler less messy way to make "boolits." Rather than casting and lubing, you cut lead wire, place a zinc "washer" and swage.
